CONFLUX SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Participants in Conflux share an interest in psychogeography [
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychogeography ]. Projects presented range
from interpretations of the classical approach developed by the
Situationists to emerging artistic, conceptual and technology-based
practices.
At Conflux, participants, along with attendees and the public, put these
investigations into action on the city streets. The city becomes a
playground, a laboratory and a space for the development
of new networks and communities.
WHAT TO SUBMIT
Here are examples of the types of projects and events we're looking for:
- exploratory drifts/dérives
